Keep your garage diary organised

A booking calendar gives your garage a clear view of what is booked, who is coming in and what work needs to be done. Instead of relying on a paper diary, every booking can be connected to the customer and vehicle record.

When a customer books in, you can add the date, time, registration, job notes and contact details. This makes it easier for your team to prepare the job and avoid missed details.

  • Add bookings with customer and vehicle details
  • See appointments by date and time
  • Keep job notes connected to the booking
  • Turn a booking into a job card
  • Reduce lost notes and messy diary pages
